Some people believe that this is Jupiter’s heart chakra:

In fact when people are decieved through lies an energetic connection is made between the liar and the person believing the lie. This enables a form of psychic vampirism.

So really a group of elites decieving the whole world….Its bad m’kay? (Mr Makey voice)

Networks employed to decieve can be later commandeered to being used to deseminate truth, but in and of itself a global delusion is bad.

Well, Gaia is conscious. Its consciousness is us in a way. So in the sense, the way you are using the phrase, is Gaia self consciousness.

There is the geosphere, the ecosphere and the noosphere. If Global warming is a lie, and most people believe it, it wouldn’t contribute to the noosphere at all.

It would be a global delusion. Nothing positive would come from that. Unity is not a greater value than truth.

I like the idea of getting rid of nukes. I also like the idea of focusing collective human efforts on practical problems which have spiritual dimensions to them. As much as I question the legitimacy of Global Warming as a phenomenon, I do have to admit that it is a viable step towards something akin to a Gaia-consciousness.

So what would you think of this scenario? Say we had one world religion and also nukes. What would you think about that?

Do you know of any religious leaders that have control of nuclear weapons?

Does the Pope or the Dalai Lama have nukes?

So who has the nukes?

I’m not buying the old saw that religion causes violence so that if we “change how people think about religion” we can end violence.

I think a better thing to unite everyone on is getting rid of all nukes. All nukes are weapons of terror. Mutal destruction. Its an implicit threat of a suicide bomber.

The US maintains world hegemony through an implicit suicide bombing threat.

We are a secular country and the only country that has used nukes.

I am a big skeptic of this.
